[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for them. These days it's common for top Chinese students in 4th-6th grade to take the AMC 8 and do well. This level of performance in math is necessary to enter the top selective junior high schools and be in the running for these sorts of programs.[/quote] There are American kids taking the AMC 8 in those grade levels and doing well on it. [/quote] Yes indeed. Unfortunately US public schools don't recognize/care about this sort of achievement whereas in China that sort of accomplishment can help you get in to highly selective schools (or special classes within their local schools) where these kids can be taught at their level.[/quote]
